Aston Villa have been warned by goalkeeper Steve Harper to expect a backlash when they head for Newcastle on Saturday.
"We have bounced back from a bad start in the league when everybody wrote us off and we had had five wins in a row before Wednesday night," he said.
"That was a little bit of a knockout blow for us. But it is up to the lads who play to bounce back and get us three points.
"It is a big game. We have got to get three points - and then we have got two very tough games against Basle coming up."
